The implication in his performance is that America, as in the U.S., is a conglomerate of peoples from many places, and doesn’t belong to a specific race.

Good message. I agree.

I’m simply pointing out that, right now, based on America’s voting habits, the reality is that it’s an incredibly racist nation that glorifies felon rapist pedophiles. That is a fact.

The dude didn’t stand in the U.S., during the U.S.'s most popular sporting event, and say “this is America” like it’s a geography lesson to make sure everyone knows America is two continents. He clearly meant “THIS” as in “the United States”. As in “hey look, the U.S. is a mix of races and that’s what makes it strong”.

Again. I agree. Unfortunately, the majority of voting Americans (United Statesians?) in 2024 did not. Factually.

I mean last I checked America was racist as fuck and glorified a felon rapist pedophile by making him their leader.

Honestly, the Lotion Pit is better interior decorating than modern “is it a home or the surface of the sun oh my god everything is so bland and white” interior design.

I’m old enough to remember 70s design still being normal and life just felt way cooler.

Yup. Middle finger. It’s a large hand person thing.

The first time I picked it up my hands were already large enough that it just felt normal to have each hand on the outer grips. I’ve been called a freak. Feared by children and scorned by adults. I was cast out of my village. Given no quarter.

It’s been a lonely life, but I yam what I yam.

Fun Fact: Holding it that way makes it a lot easier to break the joystick since you’re putting force on it from an angle. As an adult I’ve had to order after market joysticks with thicker sticks to replace the ones I broke as a kid. They’re actually much better with way smoother movement.

I can’t write to this dynamo. He’s dead after raping children.

As others have mentioned, Signal is secure.

You need to set the group chat messages to auto-delete after a set amount of time. If you’re really concerned, set it for hours instead of days. That way if these terrorists abduct you and force you to unlock your phone, they have a very limited pool of messages to view.

Honestly? Kinda.

Everyone walking around with misinformation devices in the palm of their hands isn’t working out so well.

Also, that pattern makes me feel safe and warm.

Mama knows how we behave. She’s taking us to the nearest galactic playground where she’ll abandon us.

Religion is a mental illness.

The more one talks about it, the more mentally ill they are.

The reality is that the U.S. is no better than Russia.

Same.

But Mervyn’s for me.

I like it when you ask for proof and they open their arms and gesture broadly at everything.

To be fair, I wish I was a simpleton. I think life is more fun that way.

Nah dawg. I called out .ml and .ml doesn’t like that. Again, only place on Lemmy I’ve experienced censorship. It’s kind of like the /r/conservative of Lemmy. If your comment doesn’t fit the narrative, it’s censored.

That’s why .ml has the reputation it has. Have fun.

Yup.

I think a lot of the denial of what’s happening is due to Americans generally living easy lives. I say that knowing there’s a lot of struggle out there. But Americans have not experienced living in a nation that collapses into authoritarianism. They don’t know what bad actually is. Their political decisions have never truly cost them.

“It couldn’t happen here.”

Said every person who lived somewhere it ended up happening.

Our society, in general, is just not good at critical thinking, and critical thinking is integral to maintaining a democracy.

“bOtH tEh SaMe”

Man, I fucking HATE centrists. Your brain is fundamentally broken if you’re a centrist in this climate.

Sorry. I can’t speak to you because .ml censors users. The only place on Lemmy that I’ve experienced censorship. Have fun with that.
